Glenwood Basecamp

Situated on the banks of the Colorado River and engulfed in the beauty of the spectacular Glenwood Canyon, our Glenwood Springs basecamp, Glenwood Canyon Resort, offers a variety of adventure activities and lodging to suit your every need. It is your perfect point from which to enjoy this area of Colorado.

In the heart of the Colorado Rocky Mountains between Aspen and Vail, Glenwood Canyon Resort is conveniently located on Interstate 70 just minutes from Glenwood Springs and the World Famous Hot Springs Pool and the very popular Hanging Lake Trail.

We are proud to announce the opening of our magnificent Canyon Club Event Center at the resort, featuring the No Name Bar & Grill that has a 4,000-square-foot deck for your end-of-day enjoyment. The grill features delicious food and a full service bar. The deck offers stunning panoramic views of surrounding mountains, the famous No Name Arch, and the mighty Colorado River winding through sky high canyon walls.

Lodging options at Glenwood Canyon Resort range from luxurious three-bedroom suites to tent camping sites and everything in between. We offer furnished, full-service resort cabins, family cabins as well as camper cabins for more rustic living, and even full hook-up RV sites.

The resort is the home base to Rock Gardens Rafting and Glenwood Canyon Zipline Adventures, making up the Glenwood Springs Basecamp of the Colorado Adventure Center, which means you won’t need to leave the resort to experience the best recreational activities in the Glenwood Springs area. Whitewater rafting, zipline adventures, high ropes challenge courses, rock climbing wall, mountain biking and gold-medal fly fishing; we have it all right outside your doorstep! The Glenwood Canyon Recreational Trail even runs right next to the resort with access to several outstanding hiking trails and scenic outlooks nearby.
